Feature engineering for electricity load forecasting#

The purpose of this notebook is to demonstrate how to use skrub and polars to perform feature engineering for electricity load forecasting.

We will build a set of features from different sources:

  • Historical weather data for 10 medium to large urban areas in France;

  • Holidays and calendar features for France;

  • Historical electricity load data for the whole of France.

All these data sources cover a time range from March 23, 2021 to May 31, 2025.

Since our maximum forecasting horizon is 24 hours, we consider that the future weather data is known at a chosen prediction time. Similarly, the holidays and calendar features are known at prediction time for any point in the future.

Therefore, features derived from the weather and calendar data can be used to engineer “future covariates”. Since the load data is our prediction target, we will can also use it to engineer “past covariates” such as lagged features and rolling aggregations.

Environment setup#

We need to install some extra dependencies for this notebook if needed (when running jupyterlite). We need the development version of skrub to be able to use the skrub expressions.

%pip install -q https://pypi.anaconda.org/ogrisel/simple/polars/1.24.0/polars-1.24.0-cp39-abi3-emscripten_3_1_58_wasm32.whl
%pip install -q altair holidays https://pypi.anaconda.org/ogrisel/simple/skrub/0.6.dev0/skrub-0.6.dev0-py3-none-any.whl
ERROR: polars-1.24.0-cp39-abi3-emscripten_3_1_58_wasm32.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

Note: you may need to restart the kernel to use updated packages.

Time range#

Let’s define a hourly time range from March 23, 2021 to May 31, 2025 that will be used to join the electricity load data and the weather data. The time range is in UTC timezone to avoid any ambiguity when joining with the weather data that is also in UTC.

We wrap the polars dataframe in a skrub variable to benefit from the built-in TableReport display in the notebook. Using the skrub expression system will also be useful later.

time_range_start = pl.datetime(2021, 3, 23, hour=0, time_zone="UTC")
time_range_end = pl.datetime(2025, 5, 31, hour=23, time_zone="UTC")
time = skrub.var(
    "time",
    pl.DataFrame().with_columns(
        pl.datetime_range(
            start=time_range_start,
            end=time_range_end,
            time_zone="UTC",
            interval="1h",

Calendar and holidays features#

We leverage the holidays package to enrich the time range with some calendar features such as public holidays in France. We also add some features that are useful for time series forecasting such as the day of the week, the day of the year, and the hour of the day.

Note that the holidays package requires us to extract the date for the French timezone.

Similarly for the calendar features: all the time features are extracted from the time in the French timezone.

holidays_fr = holidays.country_holidays("FR", years=range(2019, 2026))

fr_time = pl.col("time").dt.convert_time_zone("Europe/Paris")
calendar = time.with_columns(
    [
        fr_time.dt.date().is_in(holidays_fr.keys()).alias("is_holiday_fr"),

Finally we load the electricity load data. This data will both be used as a target variable but also to craft some lagged and window-aggregated features.

Check that the number of rows matches our expectations based on the number of hours that separate the first and the last dates. We can do that by joining with the time range dataframe and checking that the number of rows stays the same.

assert (
    time.join(electricity, on="time", how="inner").shape[0] == time.shape[0]

Lagged features#

We can now create some lagged features from the electricity load data.

We will create 3 hourly lagged features, 1 daily lagged feature, and 1 weekly lagged feature. We will also create a rolling median and inter-quartile feature over the last 24 hours and over the last 7 days.

def iqr(col, *, window_size: int):
    """Inter-quartile range (IQR) of a column."""
    return col.rolling_quantile(0.75, window_size=window_size) - col.rolling_quantile(
        0.25, window_size=window_size
    )


electricity_lagged = electricity.with_columns(
    [pl.col("load_mw").shift(i).alias(f"load_mw_lag_{i}h") for i in range(1, 4)]
    + [

Investigating outliers in the lagged features#

Let’s use the skrub.TableReport tool to look at the plots of the marginal distribution of the lagged features.

Let’s extract the dates where the inter-quartile range of the load is greater than 15,000 MW.

electricity_lagged.filter(pl.col("load_mw_iqr_7d") > 15_000)[
    "time"
].dt.date().unique().sort().to_list().skb.eval()
[datetime.date(2021, 12, 26),
 datetime.date(2021, 12, 27),
 datetime.date(2021, 12, 28),
 datetime.date(2022, 1, 7),
 datetime.date(2022, 1, 8),
 datetime.date(2023, 1, 19),
 datetime.date(2023, 1, 20),
 datetime.date(2023, 1, 21),
 datetime.date(2024, 1, 10),
 datetime.date(2024, 1, 11),
 datetime.date(2024, 1, 12),
 datetime.date(2024, 1, 13)]

We observe 3 date ranges with high inter-quartile range. Let’s plot the electricity load and the lagged features for the first data range along with the weather data for Paris.

altair.Chart(
    electricity_lagged.filter(
        (pl.col("time") > pl.datetime(2021, 12, 1, time_zone="UTC"))
        & (pl.col("time") < pl.datetime(2021, 12, 31, time_zone="UTC"))
    ).skb.eval()
).transform_fold(
    [
        "load_mw",
        "load_mw_iqr_7d",
    ],
).mark_line(
    tooltip=True
).encode(
    x="time:T", y="value:Q", color="key:N"
).interactive()
altair.Chart(
    all_city_weather.filter(
        (pl.col("time") > pl.datetime(2021, 12, 1, time_zone="UTC"))
        & (pl.col("time") < pl.datetime(2021, 12, 31, time_zone="UTC"))
    ).skb.eval()
).transform_fold(
    [f"temperature_2m_{city_name}" for city_name in city_names],
).mark_line(
    tooltip=True
).encode(
    x="time:T", y="value:Q", color="key:N"
).interactive()

Based on the plots above, we can see that the electricity load was high just before the Christmas holidays due to low temperatures. Then the load suddenly dropped because temperatures went higher right at the start of the end-of-year holidays.

So those outliers do not seem to be caused to a data quality issue but rather due to a real change in the electricity load demand. We could conduct similar analysis for the other date ranges with high inter-quartile range but we will skip that for now.

If we had observed significant data quality issues over extended periods of time could have been addressed by removing the corresponding rows from the dataset. However, this would make the lagged and windowing feature engineering challenging to reimplement correctly. A better approach would be to keep a contiguous dataset assign 0 weights to the affected rows when fitting or evaluating the trained models via the use of the sample_weight parameter.

Final dataset#

We now assemble the dataset that will be used to train and evaluate the forecasting models via backtesting.
